| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 20, 2007 Bottle at ronnies, bottle conditioned. Nutty, fruity, bready with sweet malt on the nose.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 12, 2007 500ml bottle from the brewery bought for my birthday by the office. BBE 12/07. Chestnut with lasting beige head. Pretty standard bitter, quite acidic. Nice caramel, decent dryness on end. Some malt, but acid on end is too strong. Ethereal (1500), London, Greater London, England
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Aug 31, 2007 500ml bottle from Middle Farm, East Sussex. Pours a slightly hazy brown with a whitish foam head. Little aroma - maybe a bit of malt. Flavour is unimpressive - some sugary rum notes peek through though. Palate is thin at first and then a bit chunkier. Overall, felt this was all odds and ends, not a smooth drinking experience. leaparsons (4749), Leicester, Leicestershire, England
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Aug 24, 2007 Bottle. Very brown with a large off-white foam. Aromas are cocoa powder and citrus. Flavours are caramel and toffee mals with citrus and some soda water. Dry on the finish. Not great. SilkTork (4174), Rochester, Kent, England
